What Do the Voice 1&2 Buttons Do?

Pressing either of these buttons can be used to select a
harmony “voicing” for that voice or to turn the voice off.
Voicing is the term describing a pitch-shifted version of
your voice at a musically determined pitch. When the
Manual button is lit, these buttons become inactive.

What Does Higher, Lower etc. Mean?

These names define the harmony arrangement in the
current preset. The following list describes the typical
voicing intervals produced by Harmony-M:
o Higher - Generally a 5th interval or 7 semitones

above your voice

o High - Generally a minor or major 3rd interval or

3-4 semitones above your voice

o Low - Generally a minor or major 3rd interval or

3-4 semitones below your voice.This is the same
as the Higher voicing only one octave below it.

o Lower - Generally a 6th interval or 8 semitones

below your voice.This is the same as the High
voicing only one octave below it.

o Bass - This deep voice remains on the root note of

your current keyboard chord even when your
voice’s pitch is moving up and down

o Octave Up and Down - Follows your voice exactly

12 semitones above (Octave up arrow) or below
(Octave down arrow) regardless of the chord you play

Changing the FX

Press the FX button to change the reverb and delay
style in the preset you are currently on which can be
stored as the preset’s A or B setting.

Remote Control with an Optional Footswitch

You can connect either a single button momentary footswitch
or a TC-Helicon Switch3 footswitch to allow handsfree control
of Harmony-M. A single-button footswitch remotely toggles
only the On function. The Switch3 footswitch controls A/B,
Bypass and On functions from left to right.The footswitch must
be connected at power up for Harmony-M to recognize
whether it is a single or triple function footswitch. MIDI Setup
mode and Preset select are not possible with the footswitch.
